Dan has been our Rector since 2021, and was ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in 2017. He is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has been an Episcopalian since 2010. His calling to ministry has given him a wide variety of experiences and exposures to different expressions of faith, which he brings to our life together at St. Bede’s.
Dan comes to St. Bede’s from the Diocese of Virginia, where he has served as the Assistant to the Rector of Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church in Arlington, Virginia since 2016. He is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has been an Episcopalian since 2010. He was raised in the Roman Catholic faith as a child and attended non-denominational churches as a young adult. He completed the Anglican Studies program at Sewanee, and served as a hospital chaplain for several years prior to his ordination as an Episcopal priest.
Dan joined us on February 1, 2021. He is excited to share in our common worship, discipleship and efforts to serve our community on the Peninsula. He and his wife Ashley enjoy being outdoors and going camping, hiking and rock climbing.
